Storm's strategy focuses on providing private cloud opportunities for enterprises using OpenStack, which represents a fundamental change to enterprise data centers that will take time to complete. This disruption in enterprise IT creates opportunities for startups, as OpenStack offers a foundation for new companies while many existing firms adapt, thrive, or fail through the significant changes to infrastructure.

1. Private Cloud for the Enterprise
A key element of Storm’s strategy is Private Cloud
opportunities targeted at the enterprise. Openstack has
started what will be a complete rebuild of the enterprise data
center. It will take time and wont be a straight path but this
shift represents one of the most fundamental changes to
enterprise infrastructure.
Many existing companies will adapt and thrive - many more
will fail. The massive disruption in the enterprise IT market
will create enormous opportunities for startups in the years
ahead. The video below covers some observations as a
venture investor and why this is the time to think about
OpenStack as a foundation for your startup. I gave this talk at
OpenStack 2012. Slides and video below.
